"What's your name?" "Adeline." He smiled with his white teeth flashing my eyes. "Nice name..." I smirked a little as I divulged, "You think so?" Then everything went south. He just looked at me with this dazed look for what felt like days! "Atticus?" "You're so cute." I instantly was creeped out. "Excuse me?" But what really topped it off was when he grabbed my arm and put my back against the wall. I was cornered and he started leaning over me with his face so close to mine. Atticus looked me dead in the eyes. With a smirk on his lips and a gleam in his eyes full of mischief, he said the words that sealed my fate in this school forever. "By decree of me, I claim you as my own."
